Site Review: Thehotelhunter.com

There is no doubt that using a hotel search engine is THE best way to locate the lowest hotel rates online in the shortest possible time, thehotelhunter.com is one these hotel search engines. thehotelhunter.com scans the web searching all the booking sites and hotel sites looking for the hotel you are interested in. thehotelhunter then compiles a list of the best deals online for the hotel in question in descending order from the site offering the lowest rate to the site with the highest. It is then up to you to follow the link to the hotel booking site and complete your booking.

Searching on thehotelhunter.com
Your search for the hotel booking site with the lowest rates begins by browsing thehotelhunter.com either by country of hotel name, from there thehotelhunter.com does the rest.

Useful features
• Unlike similar sites when you give your specifications of how many rooms and for how many guests on thehotelhunter.com you have the option of adding separate number of adults and children. This is clever as there are often different prices for adults and children sharing the parent's room.
• There's a choice of which currency to see the rates, and a range of options to choose how you would like the hotels displayed (according to distance from landmarks; star rating; popularity; price).
• As thehotelhunter is only a search tool and not profiting on your choice of hotel booking site you can be sure that the reviews and any other details on the site are unbiased.
• thehotelhunter's competitors include HotelsCompared.com and Hotelsearchengine.com, each of these sites performs about the same function however thehotelhunter is the only one of the three which also provides travel guides and full length guest reviews. The other two sites also have guest reviews but they are in summary form. Although in most cases these sites present the same final results you can choose the one which best appeals to you in terms of the features, layout and search options.

Customer Service on thehotelhunter
As you are not actually booking your hotel on thehotelhunter.com only searching other sites using their service there is no great need for extensive customer service, however if you do have a query you can contact them on the "Contact Us" form. Once you have chosen your hotel and moved to the hotel booking site offering the lowest rates you can deal with the booking site for all your needs.
Saving time and money
thehotelhunter.com will find you the lowest rates online, and in a shorter time than humanly possible.

A review wouldn't be complete without a few gripes! The site could use more extensive hotel reviews and an affiliate program would also boost their visibility on line. I have found with all hotel search engines that in some non-US countries (in the Middle East and Far East) sometimes some booking sites are not shown. There could also be the addition of a FAQ section. thehotelhunter.com has improved on its competition by supplying travel guides but these could also be expanded to include more information and travel articles.

There is no doubt that using a hotel search engine like thehotelhunter is the best way to track down the lowest room rates online. You couldn't possibly search the amount of booking sites that thehotelhunter.com does, which means you would risk not finding the site with the lowest rate.
